Abstract:
... Recent sociological research has focused attention on formal instances of retrospective cultural consecration in the United States. In the fields of film, sport, and popular music, this has largely involved comparing the effects of various forms of cultural legitimacy on the odds of retrospective consecration. Such studies have used the three “competing” principles of cultural legitimacy identifie ...

Abstract:
... We analyse four leading indicators in the US economy using autoregressive models and find strong evidence in favour of GARCH effects. All series remain fat-tailed after controlling for GARCH effects, suggesting that non-Gaussianity of the innovations should be accounted for. ...

Abstract:
... I construct an index of political polarization using seven previously used measures. I estimate the relative propensity for polarization across demographic groups and examine the extent to which demographic change can explain recent trends in polarization. Assuming fixed propensities for polarization across groups, 34 percent of the change in polarization between 1984 and 2016 can be attributed to ...

Abstract:
... Employment growth is one of the most commonly used measures of the economic health of U.S. states. While the CES jobs data is timely and available by industry, for many states the early estimates are subject to large revisions, significantly reducing the usefulness of the series. Much of the error, however, cancels out when taking growth over several months. In this paper we evaluate the benchmark ...

We study a large-dimensional Dynamic Factor Model where: (i) the vector of factors Ft is I(1) and driven by a number of shocks that is smaller than the dimension of Ft; and, (ii) the idiosyncratic components are either I(1) or I(0). Under (i), the factors Ft are cointegrated and can be modeled as a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Under (i) and (ii), we provide consistent estimators, as both ...

Abstract:
... Fish species richness is an important indicator of river ecological condition but it is particularly difficult to estimate in large unwadeable rapidly flowing rivers. Intensive multi-gear sampling is time consuming, logistically complex and expensive. However, insufficient sampling effort underestimates species richness and yields inaccurate data about the ecological condition of river sites. We r ...

Abstract:
... This paper considers multiple changes in the factor loadings of a high dimensional factor model occurring at dates that are unknown but common to all subjects. Since the factors are unobservable, the problem is converted to estimating and testing structural changes in the second moments of the pseudo factors. We consider both joint and sequential estimation of the change points and show that the d ...

Abstract:

The Composite Indicator of Systemic Stress (CISS) is more informative than indicators focusing on narrower segments of financial markets or their simple aggregation in the principal component. Conditionally on the CISS one can reproduce for the euro area the stylized f ...

Abstract:
... I provide an estimation procedure for directional technology distance functions (DTDF) through duality to avoid the unnecessarily often-used restrictive assumption that the DTDF is quadratic. I use a semi-parametric specification which avoids the imposition of restrictive functional forms on the profit function. Through the new procedure, one can obtain estimates of the distance function, its deri ...

Abstract:
... Divisions between political Liberals and Conservatives on environmental issues seem to be widening, with Liberals generally more pro-environmental than Conservatives. We propose that common framing of environmental messages tends to perpetuate these gaps. We designed two experiments to examine this assumption and explore the prospects of narrowing these divisions using communication based on moral ...

Abstract:
... Baseflow, or the groundwater component of streamflow, is an important source of water for several applications, from increasing demands on freshwater resources to ecosystem health. Despite its relevance, our understanding of the processes driving baseflow and its interannual variability is limited. In this study, we focus on 458 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gauges that have at least 50 years ...
